Psalms Chapter 111
Showing all 10 verses for Psalms Chapter 111.
The People's Bible is written by people, for the people. Each verse below shows:
"Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. "
"Praise the LORD! I will praise the LORD with everything I've got, both among honest people gathered together and in the wider community."
I want your thankfulness to be real, not a performance — and I want you to share it, not lock it away. Gathering with others to name what's good in life multiplies the joy rather than diluting it.
"The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. "
"What God has done is magnificent — people who truly love it study it closely, delighting in it."
I'd rather you question and explore what you believe than accept it blindly. Real delight leads to genuine curiosity — dig into the things that move you rather than skimming past them.
"His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. "
"What he does is dignified and magnificent, and his fairness lasts forever."
In a world where trends shift constantly, real goodness — kindness, fairness, honesty — never goes out of date. Anchor your life to what actually lasts, not what's fashionable this year.
"He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. "
"He has made sure his amazing acts are remembered; the LORD is kind and deeply compassionate."
When life gets hard, actively remember the good that's already happened to you — it's easy to forget kindness once received. Keep a memory of grace alive; it changes how you face what's next.
"He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. "
"He provides food for those who revere him; he will always remember his promise."
I don't want you living anxious about whether your basic needs will be met. If you're seeking a life of honesty towards what's good, trust that provision and faithfulness go together — not as a transaction, but as a relationship.
"He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. "
"He has shown his people the power of what he does, so he could give them the land that belonged to other nations."
I don't ask for blind faith detached from your actual life — look at what has actually happened, the real turning points, as evidence you can build trust on.
"The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. "
"What he does is true and just; all his instructions are reliable."
I never ask you to follow a rule just because it's a rule. Everything I've asked of you is rooted in what actually helps you and others flourish.
"They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. "
"They (his commands and deeds) stand firm forever, carried out with truth and honesty."
When you build your life on things that are actually true and fair, not just convenient, you build something that holds up over time. I want your foundations to be that solid.
"He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. "
"He sent rescue to his people; he has set his promise in place forever; his character is holy and deserves deep respect."
Freedom from whatever enslaves you — fear, shame, addiction, other people's expectations — is at the heart of what I offer. That rescue isn't a one-off gesture; it's the start of a lasting relationship.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. "
"Respecting God is where real wisdom starts; anyone who lives by his instructions gains genuine understanding; praise for him lasts forever."
Real wisdom starts with humility — recognising there's something bigger than your own cleverness. Hold that posture of respect and openness; it's the doorway into genuinely understanding how to live well.
